Instill Flame

Description

A weapon imbued with Instill Flame.

Elemental instillment is a practice core to the identity of Elemental Knights. These martial invocations imblue a warrior's weapon with a variety of special effects, including a level of the instilled element, increased damage, and enabling spells to be readied while fighting. Imbuing one's weapon with fire-elemental energies grants normal attacks the ability to hit enemies in a larger area, as well as speeding the casting of fire magic and adding 5% of Max Damage to the caster's Magic Attack. The spell being readied during combat can be cast with Ctrl + Right Click, and is not affected by the Piercing stat of the equipped weapon, though its charge time cannot be reduced below 50%. The more adept one becomes at instilling an element, the faster the process will be, until it can be perfomed almost instantaneously.

Details

A player charging magic and using a skill in tandem.

• While the instillment is active, allows the wielder to charge Magic skills (excluding Blaze and Cleric skills) while being able to freely move and use Close Combat skills simultaneously while equipped with a close combat weapon.
  • Magic cast while instillment is active will not take Piercing from the user's weapon into account.
  • All magic cast via instillment will automatically charge up to the maximum casts available and be ready to cast afterwards. This appears as a smaller icon next to where the charging skills are normally seen.
    • Magic skills charged with this method will not be interrupted or lose charges if the user is knocked back/knocked down.
    • Compatible magic skills used after a Snap Cast will be loaded normally instead of being side-loaded.
  • Ctrl+right-clicking the target will move the side-loaded magic to the primary loaded skill and fire it at the target. Pressing the same magic skill again will instead move the side-loaded magic to the primary loaded skill without firing it.
    • During this time it is possible for the loaded magic skill to lose charges or be cancelled if the user is knocked down before successfully casting the skill.
    • Magic skills that would restrict the user's movement while loaded such as Hail Storm will not allow you to move after it has become the active skill unless Spellwalk is also active.
• Increases the casting speed of Fire magic.
• Increases the user's minimum and maximum damage while the instillment is active.
• Converts 5% of the user's Max Damage to Magic Attack when attacking with Fire magic.
• Increases the splash range and splash damage of the user's normal attacks.
• While active, MP will be slowly drained.
• Increases the damage of Blazing Assault Slash while the instillment is active.
• Grants the user 1 Level of Fire when active.
  • This is similar to the effect of Enchanting one more piece of equipment with a Fire Elemental, but it does not apply the same benefits and drawbacks of doing so.
    • The user will deal increased damage to enemies of opposing elements and reduced damage to enemies of the same element.
    • However, the user will not receive increased damage from attacks of the opposing elements or reduced damage from attacks of the same element.
• Instilment will apply to any Close Combat Weapon equipped after activating the skill. It can be replaced by a different Instill skill or turned off.
